About the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN)
The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) is a federal university located in Ilorin, Kwara State, and one of Nigeria’s largest and most competitive federal universities. UNILORIN is accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and offers undergraduate programmes across faculties including Medicine, Law, Engineering, Sciences, Education, and Management Sciences.
UNILORIN runs a strict, aggregate-based admission process and is known for enforcing its registration deadlines without extension, so candidates should not wait until the final days to apply.
Who Is Eligible to Apply
- Candidates who selected University of Ilorin as first choice in the 2026 UTME
- Direct Entry (DE) candidates who selected UNILORIN as first choice
- Candidates must have scored at least 180 in the 2026 UTME to be eligible — some courses may require higher scores, so check the specific requirement for your intended course
- Candidates applying outside Nigeria through UTME/DE are exempted from sitting the screening test but will be screened after admission
- Candidates with certain disabilities (including blindness, deafness, muteness, autism, amputation, Down syndrome, dyslexia, ADHD, albinism, cerebral palsy, and disfigurement, as listed in the official notice) are exempted from the screening test
Course changes must be made through JAMB CAPS (efacility.jamb.gov.ng) — not on the UNILORIN portal. UNILORIN periodically downloads updates from JAMB CAPS until registration closes, but there will be no updates after closure.
How Admission Offers Are Determined
UNILORIN bases its admission offer on a weighted aggregate made up of:
- UTME/A’Level score: 50%
- Post-UTME screening score: 30%
- Five relevant O’Level grades: 20%
This means your UTME score alone does not secure admission — your Post-UTME screening performance and O’Level grades both carry significant weight in the final aggregate.
How to Apply for the UNILORIN Post UTME/DE Form 2026/2027
Step 1: Visit the Official Portal
Go to portal.unilorin.edu.ng/ug/admissions or portal.unilorin.edu.ng and click Post-UTME Registration. Do not use any other link — UNILORIN has explicitly warned candidates against third-party sites.
Step 2: Verify Your Details
On the Undergraduate Pre-Admission page, click Verify your details and enter your JAMB Registration Number, phone number, and email address. Your surname and first name will display automatically for confirmation.
Step 3: Proceed to Payment
Click Verify, then Make Payment to go to the Remita payment platform. Select your card type (Visa or MasterCard), enter your card number, expiry date, CVV, and PIN, then complete the ₦2,000 payment.
Step 4: Access Your Login Details
After successful payment, check your registered email for your login details, then return to the portal to log in with your JAMB Registration Number and the password sent to you.
Step 5: Complete the Application Form
Fill in your personal and academic details, upload your O’Level (and A’Level, where applicable) results — matching exactly what is on JAMB CAPS — and supply your NIN. Candidates awaiting O’Level results should select “AR” (Awaiting Results).
Step 6: Review and Submit
Double-check every entry before final submission. UNILORIN has stated that wrong entries will lead to automatic disqualification, and candidates can only correct errors while registration is still open.
⚠️ Note: candidates should expect additional post-registration verification charges for NIN and O’Level result checks, separate from the ₦2,000 registration fee.

Important Rules to Note
- O’Level results obtained in one sitting only are required for MBBS, Pharmacy, Optometry and Vision Science, and Computer Engineering
- Use a personal, active email address and phone number — not a cybercafé’s — since all further communication depends on these
- Do not attempt to change your course on the UNILORIN portal; all course changes go through JAMB CAPS only
- The registration window is one of the shortest among Nigerian federal universities — UNILORIN has a track record of not extending its deadlines
